Part Two - Tuesday, Wednesday, Chapter 8 - The Red Telephone; Chapter 9 - Take it from Here Summary

Bond walks into his office the next morning hung-over and feeling terrible from the late night. He sits at his desk and tries to read some files. He sees no point in having to read so many files unrelated to his job and this puts him in a further foul mood. Bond quits and stops to smoke a cigarette and look out the window. His thoughts turn to Drax. Bond can not understand why such a wealthy and successful man would want to cheat at cards. He decides Drax is paranoid and consumed with his own power so much that he can never allow himself to lose.
